O J. Crawford Biggs, ' 93, who, as a citizen of this campus was valedictorian and senior year president of his class; Editor-in-Chief of the annual; an editor of the first Tar Heel; Chief Marshal and winner of the Mangum Medal and the Greek Prize. Ability as a base- ball player earned him the captaincy of the ' 92 team, and although the lightest man on the football team he was elected captain for ' 94, but declined the honor to pursue his law career. He early entered public service as mayor and legis- lator, and at 34 was elected a Superior Court Judge and later served under Woodrow Wilson as special assistant to the Attorney General. In the full tide of legal experience and civic responsi- bility Judge Biggs was called from a vv ide law practice in Raleigh to Washington by President Roosevelt to become Solicitor General of the United States. As student, lawyer, public leader, citizen and con- structive trustee and alumnus, he has conferred honor upon his Alma Mater, in recognition of which the Yackety-Yack does itself honor in dedicating this volume to him. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ DEDICATIOIV
